WILLOM Tight might be keeping a low profile but he still has the mojo to carry on.
The 52-year-old, who has been alternating between South Africa and Zimbabwe doing business, says he still has the passion to entertain his local fans.
Tonight, the singer plays at Theatre in the Park.
Rooftop Promotions are coordinating the event.
The event will run from 6pm till late and the admission is US$5.
In an interview with H-Metro, Rooftop Promotions programmes and communications coordinator, Passmore Ndlovu, said it was an honour to host the legend.
“We are excited to be hosting the legend as an individual,” he said.
“The last time Theatre in the Park hosted Tight was in 2022 when he was performing under the banner ‘Mateo & Friends’ for the group’s reunion show after more than two decades of a break.
“We advise fans to purchase their tickets early to minimise pressure on the day of the show.”
One of the biggest followers of Willom, Elvis Dikito, said he cannot wait to watch the musician performing again
“We are ready for the show,” he said.
The Afro Jazz musician rose to fame in the late ‘90s with the album ‘Ndinoda Wangu.’
The title track became an instant hit on local radio stations.
In the years, which followed, Willom teamed up with talented singer Dino Mudondo.
The two went on to release a string of hits such as Bhazi, Makoikoi and Chirangano.
In 2013, he decided to go international after releasing his fifth album Manifesto, which features South African stars Uhuru, Speedy (Bongo Muffin) and Malian legend Salif Keita.
His professional career started in 1992 when he became part of the band, Bisas Combination.
During that time, Willom played with the band for two years after which he moved to Nexus Talent Agents, between 1995 and 1996.
The following year, he became a founding member of the group, Mateo and Friends.
The group produced some of the best solo artists such as Matthew Kaunda and Patience Musa.
The group went on to produce the album ‘Asambe Africa.’
